@that_writer_girl_99 YESSS!! That’s the annoying part of it. It was just to appease everyone. I love the Kane Chrinicles too, but I haven’t had the chance to read those crops over stories. They sound like a ton of fun! I love it when characters from other parts of a story world run into each other.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Got it. The early stages of planning can be my favorite part of writing a novel at times, so that’s a great stage to be in!

@r-j-wordsmith Aaand I’m back!

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Yeah, Nico has definitely lowered my opinion of the last two series, and I think the first ones about Percy were lots of fun. I think my favorite was Battle of the Labyrinth, but I also really liked the Titan’s Curse. You?

@jess Great!

@jess @jane-maree @daeus @kate-flournoy @graciegirl @r-j-wordsmith @ethryndal @northerner @overcomer @winter-rose And I’m back to planning! If I finish that, then I’ll likely switch to actual writing.

I like drawing too! What do you like to draw and also, what medium do you use? Oh, and if you like to draw people, you should check out our Character Art Exchange thread. Lots of fun there.

@Jess I completely agree on your view of the Percy Jackson books.

@that_writer_Girl_99, welcome! Hope you enjoy your time in the bestiest place in the kingdom! *bows and takes her leave*

@that_writer_girl_99 I’m jealous now. 😉 Nice catch! Neat story idea there too. How far along are you in the planning process?

@audrey-caylin Could you say that the story explores the potential tension between truth and forgiveness and that much of the story is about showing how these two themes actually connect together at the deepest level?

@hope No… it’s on my reading list and I really hope to get to it at some point!

@audrey-caylin That sounds like a solid plan right there. Weiland’s resources are excellent on that front! And yeah, I definitely find for myself that it generally isn’t till the second or third read that I can really pick up on all the thematic stuff that’s going…[Read more]
